dddave Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The Thai term for GROUT, please. My several English-Thai dictionaries let me down on this one. Phonetic version please as I don't read Thai. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Of course , knowing the Thai name is most important, but even when I google something I often find that I mispronounce it , so if the purpose of wanting to know the word is because you go to the store, or communicate it with a worker, I often google the subject, choose "Images" and take a couple of pictures with my phone, often times, they look at me all confused , and then when I show them the picture, they say "Ohhh....." tell me what the thing is called so I also hear how it is pronounced, and take me to the isle where the item is located. I hope the above helps ???? Edited January 21, 2021 by sirineou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrongsak Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Technique (tekneek) grout tile. Middle word(s) is grout (Yā næw). Last word is tile (grabeung). I like the old flip-flop used as a squeegee. Edited January 21, 2021 by Damrongsak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Thanks all. I needed to convey to the owner of the condo I rent that the bathroom floor tile needs to be re-grouted. Thanks to the help here I was able to get the message across and a person will be coming tomorrow to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend http://thai-language.com/ the phonetic spelling is relatively accurate. Edited January 22, 2021 by jackdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
